Chapter 872 A Sound Navy

On the fact that Winning Hemp had to be embraced with the help of the major sultans, it wasn’t hard, Ali Khan relayed news of another country, this year also being the year of change in India with its new initiatives.

Like Malaya’s year of change, India’s sky-scraping slugger, Nehru, redrew the borders of Indian states earlier this year after a few years of waiting for what seemed like nothing.

The only change is that after the redrawing of the boundaries of the Indian states, the political landscape of the original turabian states was completely broken up. The dominance of the maharajas of the original major tuktuks was greatly reduced with this move to break up their influence.

In essence, weren’t the major sultans of Malaya better off than the maharajas of the Indian land states? Ali Khan stepped in and asked the sultans to support the colonial government, saying things like winning hemp and so on, for that very purpose.

Each country has its own things to do, like what Pokina divulged was important, “The federal government is preparing a ban on German communism, and it will definitely be enacted this year.”

“Oh?” Alan Wilson’s hand stroking Anna’s belly stopped slightly, causing the little dragoon to be upset.

“Sorry.” Expressing his apologies to the baby unhappy Anna, Allen Wilson rushed at Bojina with a double mind, “In fact, it’s only a matter of time, how important Germany is, how can we allow pro-Soviet forces to gain influence. I’ve heard that the German Communist Party also has a lot of people that should be eradicated as well.”

“There are probably less than ninety thousand members.” Bogina said, as if appealing to what was expected to be irrelevant, “What do you think?”

“Let’s see, a strict ban would be easy for the Soviet Union to catch on to. I think that even if this ban is enacted, there will be other moves down the road. For example, banning the old pro-Soviet parties and forming a new German Communist Party, but nothing like the original.” Alan Wilson said as he thought.

Although democracy and all that was just a figure of speech, being on the front lines, the free world shouldn’t be doing such a rough job. There must be other backup means, and in fact that’s exactly what happened, the current international political environment, the federal government for several years had already prepared the relevant ban. And in the domestic political environment, dominating the nascent federal government is a political judiciary built on the personnel of the Third Reich era. Repression of the left had long been widespread and intensified with the issuance of the ban on the German Communist Party.

This ban has been in effect ever since, and in its place, a new communist party was approved, the New German Communist Party DKP.

With the completion of the transition from old to new, the matter was brought to an end. Alan Wilson didn’t want to hide anything, now that he knew, all the nastiness during the period should be recorded, this matter of catching the handle, he never had too much.

“You guys are really careful.” Anna, who had carried the ball across the field, glanced at her captor’s father and complimented with a look of admiration, “It’s true that only people like you can understand the hypocritical capitalist state.”

“Stop it, that’s what you two chose to do.” Alan Wilson to Anna’s red lips is a nibble, full of care, “We are war, with such tricks are okay, I believe that even Moscow, can understand.”

This is a war, in order to finally win the proletariat to kill, Allen Wilson think this is a part of the matter. Let’s not talk about the German Communist Party, what about the Indian Communist Party, the Indonesian Communist Party, have not all been liquidated and arrested, there is nothing new under the sun, just get used to it.

“And your wife, she’s been staying in London?” Bokina didn’t want to continue the subject, and at this point began to put the blame on her, “You’re comfortable with a woman not being around?”

“We are in daily contact, she does have to come back soon, but before that there is a trip to New Delhi.” Alan Wilson stretched his back, actually accompanying Mountbatten on a visit to India, but considering the sisters’ antecedents, he still couldn’t divulge what exactly they were going for.

The official announcement of the rebuilding of the air force in the Federal Republic of Germany was all a minor issue compared to the ban on the German Communist Party.

The relevant discussion was also that the two sisters would hopefully be able to help out if intra-European cooperation ever took place.

As the year of change began on the Malayan side, Mountbatten, who had been away from New Delhi for many years, traveled this time to the newborn and prestigious power, accompanied by her daughter and Her Royal Highness.

The main purpose of this rhetorical question was to talk about dumping, and to put it bluntly, whether India would be interested in being the receiver of the Giant class, which the UK does not want to keep in service. The Giant class aircraft carriers have done away with the armor protection found on the Kohinoor class, and are pretty much a scaled down and simplified version of the Kohinoor in terms of the shape of the ship. In order to save time and cost, its power system directly adopted the configuration of the cruiser, resulting in a maximum speed of only twenty-five knots, only barely able to keep up with the fast fleet.

The Admiralty and also Mountbatten himself meant to add steam catapults and sell them to India for nine million pounds. Of course the ship’s aircraft were calculated separately, adding to India’s reputable greatness.

The move would also show Daddy’s love, maintain the traditional influence in India, and could even be considered a win-win situation.

And Pamela Mountbatten, who tagged along, is taking a look at the biomedical industry operating in India.

The wife has not yet arrived, but the people recruited for planning and design this time back home have gone ahead to Kuala Lumpur, ready to benefit the community in Malaya and do their part to light this Asian beacon.

Nehru was delighted at Mountbatten’s arrival, and although Mountbatten’s son-in-law was not a thing, it did not detract from the personal relationship between the two of them, and he was interested in Mountbatten’s idea of selling the carriers.

Great powers need carriers, Nehru thought so, he couldn’t afford American ones, the Soviet Union didn’t have any, and Britain, which had already done some Giant-class sale business, was a no-brainer.

Just after the World War, Britain had already started selling off aircraft carriers, only to homogeneous countries like Australia and Canada, and now it was finally India’s turn. Nehru, who knew that India could not build aircraft carriers at the moment, was keen to contribute to the building of the Indian Navy and make it prestigious.

“This place is far worse than Malaya.” Princess Margaret’s impression of India is very poor, only the city center to see past, once a little farther away, immediately see the intolerable scene, it seems that the air is not clean.

“The place is a little worse, but for me there are many good memories.” Pamela Mountbatten wore a smile as she fell into the memories of the place where she met her true love.

Her husband was not perfect, but some of his minor faults were completely negligible compared to his strengths. To this day, Pamela Mountbatten believes that in this world Alan Wilson is the right life partner for her, bar none.

While Pamela Mountbatten reminisces about past fond memories, Mountbatten is at the former Viceroy’s residence in British India, talking win-win with the current owner, starting with a personal friendship, then showing that India is already a reputable power, and moving on to a sales pitch.

Nine million pounds, with the latest steam catapults, is no problem at all for India now, at least that’s what General Mountbatten thinks, and things aren’t all plain sailing.

Nehru was also hoping that Britain would be able to exert influence to see if they could talk to Portugal about Goa.

“Oh, that’s something I can’t really do. Things are still very complicated in Europe.” General Mountbatten spread his hands and said lovingly, “What position does Britain take to persuade Portugal, when Britain itself still has many administered colonies. With that in mind, it would be impossible to justify getting Portugal to give up Goa. As far as Goa is concerned, as far as Portugal and India themselves can handle it, no other country can interfere, I am so sorry.”

Although Mountbatten is not a civil servant, but the deep call tactics, it is impossible to let Nehru dig a hole, rather this business can not be done, he can not give Nehru any commitment on Goa, Portugal there are still a lot of places that can help Britain it.

Even so, depending on the relationship between Britain and India considerations, Nehru suppressed a small unpleasantness. The underlying reason was that Britain still seemed strong, at least for the time being, stronger than India.

A week after Mountbatten’s arrival in New Delhi, Nehru endorsed the contract for the sale of the Giant class.

The sale had been in the works for a long time, even going back to the days of British India, when Mountbatten, as Viceroy of British India, had talked to Nehru about the importance of the navy and sea power, stating that the geography of India and the United States was similar, and that Nehru understood the uniqueness of aircraft carriers as “floating airfields,” as well as the concept of carrier battle groups. Nehru understood the uniqueness of aircraft carriers as “floating airfields” and the concept of carrier battle groups, which Mountbatten then said would make India a naval force to be reckoned with in the Indian Ocean.

It can be said that Mountbatten had laid the groundwork nearly a decade ago, and today it has finally come to fruition.

That is why, when the Cabinet was earlier skeptical about the number of new carriers to be built, Mountbatten promised the Cabinet that he was going to sell the Giant class to fill the shortfall in the allocation.

It wasn’t just after the New Year that Mountbatten couldn’t wait to make his trip to India to sell the Giant class, all in an effort to keep the new shipbuilding program from having a bumpy ride.

When the moment the arms sales contract was signed, Mountbatten only breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that he was absolutely worthy of the position of the first Secretary of State for the Sea, for the development of the Royal Navy to do their part.

The British Empire on the one hand can sell their surplus warships after the end of World War II to India, on the other hand, the future of the Indian Navy in the maintenance and protection of large ships can not be separated from the British help, how to look at it is a very cost-effective deal.

Mountbatten sold because the end of the war to stop the construction of the Giant-class aircraft carriers, has been completed more than seventy-five percent, India to buy, the United Kingdom will also be retrofitted with angled decks, steam catapults and a more complete island.

The British selling is far from over, and India will not be the first or the last.
